Whipped Cream Biscuits

What To Do With Left Over Whipped Cream



      • So dangerous
      • I love to buy dairy
      • I love to eat dairy
      • I also neglect dairy
        • And foster fuzzy green coat factories
  • So I felt the burden of this whipped cream sitting in my fridge.
      • I tried eating it by the spoonful when I got home from work...
        • And that was heaven, til it wasn't
        • I found it was so rich, that after a couple days I was driving home slower to avoid it
          • 101 traffic already, at it's fastest, moves at 8 miles an hour
            • So, not good
              • I was getting closer to a large output of fuzzy scarves.

  • So what did I do?
    • I googled it.
    • I love googling things, it still blows my mind that I can do this.
      • When I was a child it was a "ask mom" thing,
        • And my mom doesn't cook or bake
          • So by the time I found an answer
            • The whipped cream would've knitted a series of fuzzy hats
  • I found a recipe for cream scones
    • Now I had heavy cream, already whipped with sugar and vanilla
      • But if I didn't add sugar...maybe  I could make a variation of it work
      • Below is the recipe that resulted

  • Gather together:
    • Heavy Whipping Cream already Whipped with sugar and vanilla
    • 2 tsp of Baking Powder
    • A Bit of Salt
    • 2 Cups of Flour + Enough to flour a surface and put into the pan you'll bake with
    • Table Knife
    • Spatula
    • Glass Pie Pan
    • Tin Foil
    • A little milk if needed (depending on how much whipped cream you have)
  • Pre-heat the oven to 425
  • Add 2 cups of flour into the bowl

  • I set my timer for 12 minutes
    • But only then realized that it looked very dirty for a picture
    • But here is the photo of my dirty timer, because I tried to clean it it, for a better second photo.
      • And it turns out to be pretty stained
      • And yes that is the screen partially peeling off

  • Mine wasn't done after 12 minutes. 
  • So for my oven it took 16 min.

  • They didn't golden very well, I wonder if I had kept it in a minute longer...well live and learn

  • I topped mine with little left over whipped cream and some blueberry vinegar jam
  • And brewed a good strong black tea
  • Then realized I still had too much of the whipped cream earlier in life and couldn't eat them this way, 
    • so I ended up sharing them with friends.
      • No fuzzy mittens were made! So Success!
